Picked up a 2019 fc 450 a couple weeks ago and Coming off a 2016 KX450. Definitely faster, lighter and Air forks feel better than the ones on the KX. Only have 2.1 hours on it so far so still getting adjusted to it and setting up the suspension but love it so far!Attachments

That bike isn’t as ugly as I thought it was going to be.

I didn’t love the number plates when I fist got it but once I put numbers on it I think it looks a lot better.

Why would it be a tough decision? If you’re buying new, buy ktm. If you’re buying used buy a 2006+ yamaha and overhaul it.

I did a YZ overhaul this summer, awesome bike, great suspension, but I want to get a new bike in the spring. Fresh start.

Hey now, I love my '17 Husky FC 450 just fine, and the Air forks are really good too. I only wish I could get the shock to work as well as my Work's shock and slipper clutch rear end did on the Husaberg. '17 Husky has best forks stock that I ever had, love the geometry and layout of the bike too, I was spoiled by my last shock but it was also big money so it should have been good......... I'd get another Husky / KTM in a heartbeat, but since I have only 33 hours on my 17, I'll ride it next year too. Keep my eye out for a works shock somewhere......
My only other idea is to get an Alta if they allow them at Loretta's next year, I'd like to be the first to race an electric bike there if I could, would be cool to be the only Husaberg racer ever there, and the first to race an electric bike there. I was there on KTM's when KTM's were not cool and very hard to find at the ranch back in the mid 90's.

Just show DC that there’s gonna be 200-400 entrants at the qualifiers and guaranteed they get made legal. They will get their own class.

I don’t want it’s own class, I want to race it against the gas bikes. I’ll make it work and the stealth passing will be awesome

You and me both. They don’t know how to introduce it into the current class structures I guess. If that’s the case just let it run in open classes.

Let them run in the Vet Classes, what's the difference to anyone there? You can ride any bike already and make any mod you want to anything in those classes now. Want to ride a 125cc bike......... ride it. Want to ride a big bore 450 made into a 500cc machine.......... ride it. If you want to ride a 500cc two stroke in a modern chassis.......... ride it. If you want to run a 250cc two stroke.......... ride it. If you want to ride a 250cc or 350cc four stroke....... ride it. Want works suspension, fancy wheels, bigger rotors, traction control......... anything goes, except next year's models and electric bikes. I say let electric bikes run in the Vet Classes and see if they are an advantage or not........ no one really cares because those guys aren't going to be factory riders anyway............. better yet, make it only legal in 50+ next year and I'll ride it in there, and I'll ride a 450 in the +45 and we can compare lap times!!!!!

I can’t quite say I’ve owned as many bikes as Mr. Crute, but maybe in the ballpark.. and the 150sx is hands down the most fun bike I have owned, I had a 16’... you’ll love it.
